Next-Generation Hyundai Santa Fe To Debut In February 2018

Expect the new model to be bigger than the current one.The next-generation Hyundai Santa Fe will allegedly debut in South Korea in February 2018, according to The Korean Car Blog. Unfortunately, the site doesn't cite a source for this premiere date, so we still have to take it with a grain of salt for now.

In terms of mechanicals, the 2019 Hyundai Veloster N has a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine, versus the standard Turbo’ s 1.6-liter. It delivers 275 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, that latter of which is available from 1,450 to 4,700 rpm – that’ s up from 201 hp and 195

The 2019 Hyundai Veloster is officially the first U . S .-market vehicle that’s part of the automaker’s new N performance brand. It’s a far bolder, higher

The first N model in the U.S. will go on sale by the end of this year.

The 2019 Hyundai Veloster is officially the first U.S.-market vehicle that’s part of the automaker’s new N performance brand. It’s a far bolder, higher performance offering than the existing Veloster and Veloster Turbo that were also revealed today. N already launched overseas on the i30. The Veloster N, like the i30 N, was tested and developed at the Nürburgring.

Hyundai Veloster redesigned for 2019 – but it’s still quirky

Veloster lineup grows to include an even sportier R-Spec variantWhy does it matter? The Veloster plays in the sport compact segment that is the Young Turk’s stepping stone to a mature automobile. To sell 37-year-old Bob with one screaming kid (and another on the way) his first sedan or full-sized SUV, you first have to sell 28-year-old Bob something that stimulated his loins in a different way. Hence the Veloster’s importance.

The second product coming from Hyundai N , after the i30 N , is the performance variant of the new Veloster with 275 horses. Full details here

The Hyundai Veloster has always looked fast, but it’ s never really backed that up with tons of speed. That changes now, because the Korean brand just launched the 275 horsepower 2019 Hyundai Veloster N at the Detroit Auto Show, bringing Hyundai solidly into the hot hatch segment.

In terms of mechanicals, the 2019 Hyundai Veloster N has a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine, versus the standard Turbo’s 1.6-liter. It delivers 275 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, that latter of which is available from 1,450 to 4,700 rpm – that’s up from 201 hp and 195 lb-ft in the regular 2019 Veloster. A six-speed manual is the only transmission choice, and Hyundai says that a stronger clutch and upgraded synchronizers were also added for N duty. That manual gearbox will also have an automatic rev-match system, as seen other performance models as diverse as the Honda Civic Type R and Chevy Corvette.

Chassis modifications begin with a “Power Sense” front suspension setup with a zero-scrub design; as in the Civic Type R, that should mitigate any torque steer and, according to Hyundai, delivers better steering feel and linearity. At both ends, an adaptive suspension is said to be able to counter roll, pitch, and dive, especially when dialed up to its “N” driving mode. And an electronically controlled limited-slip differential should further tamp down on unruly behavior.

Hyundai Santa Fe Takes After Kona in New Renderings

Next generation SUV to debut soonThe Hyundai Santa Fe was last redesigned for the 2013 model year, so it's time the three-row SUV gets another overhaul. The automaker has released two new renderings of the fourth-generation Santa Fe ahead of its official debut in the coming weeks.

At both ends, an adaptive suspension is said to be able to counter roll, pitch, and dive, especially when dialed up to its “N” driving mode. The rear multilink suspension also benefits from an extra reinforcement brace.

So, too, are the brakes upgraded, measuring 13.0 inches in diameter as standard or 13.6 inches if you elect an upgrade braking setup. The standard wheel-and-tire pack is Michelin Pilot SuperSports in 225/40 size on 18-inch wheels, while Pirelli P-Zeros are available as an option on 19-inch wheels, in 235/35 size.

Of course, there are plenty of visual tweaks to help the Veloster N stand apart from the regular model. As seen here, it wears the N-exclusive “Performance Blue” paint, new side skirts, a larger exhaust, a rear diffuser, a bigger hatchback spoiler, those aforementioned 18- or 19-inch wheels. The new front fascia specifically has new ducting to channel extra cooling air toward the enlarged brakes.

Two i30 N racers to compete in new TCR class.With the Veloster being confirmed as the first street car to carry the N badge in the US, it's logical for you to think that a race-prepped version of the funky hatchback would be hitting the track, but you would be wrong. Instead, Hyundai will campaign a pair of i30 N TCR racers that are already being offered for sale to customer teams in Europe.

The 2019 Veloster N is an exciting step to upping Hyundai’s performance game in the U.S., and will no doubt be far more tempting to hot-hatch enthusiasts than the standard Turbo model. Hyundai also promises “a compelling affordability equation,” likely meaning that the N will be cheaper than its direct rivals. Those rivals range from the Volkswagen Golf GTI, Honda Civic Si, and Ford Focus ST, all the way up to the new Civic Type R, Focus RS, and Golf R.

The 2019 Hyundai Veloster N goes on sale in the fourth quarter of this year.
